• Key Concepts: 
  Setup status is a feature in the Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling (PPS) component of SAP's Supply Chain Management (SCM) module. It is used to define the status of a production order or process order. Setup status can be used to indicate whether a production order is in the planning, scheduling, or execution phase. It also allows users to track the progress of an order and identify any potential issues. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Setup status can be set up in the PPS component of SCM. To do this, users must first create a setup status profile in the system. This profile will define the different statuses that can be assigned to an order. Once the profile is created, users can assign setup statuses to orders as they are created or modified. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up setup statuses, it is important to consider how they will be used in practice. For example, if an order is in the planning phase, it may be helpful to assign a different setup status than if it is in the scheduling phase. This will help users quickly identify which orders are in which stages of production. 
  
  Related Information: 
  Setup statuses are closely related to other features in PPS such as production versions and process orders. Production versions are used to define different versions of a production plan while process orders are used to track the progress of individual orders. By using setup statuses in conjunction with these other features, users can gain greater visibility into their production processes and ensure that orders are completed on time and within budget.
